Researchers led by Menna Clatworthy at the University of Cambridge published findings in Nature Neuroscience showing that CD4+ T cells activated by intestinal pathogens travel from the gut to the meninges surrounding the brain. The immune cells become resident populations that maintain a memory of past infections for over a month.
“Immune cells that fight stomach bugs can migrate from the gut to the brain, where they establish a lasting 'memory' of previous infection, according to a study in mice.”
